I've tried for a few days but the upload bar only goes halfway and then quits. Its not a huge file and I've uploaded bigger files in the mean time. I'm thinking the link may broke, a shame if it is

The above were just screen shots. I can see the entire book but can't download. This is where it sits an hour later, blue line is stubborn

Sent you a Google Drive link Geo. Sorry, I didn't scroll down far enough to see Karl helped you already.

Thank you Andy. Still not sure what the issue is. I just finished uploading 2 documents that were each 60% larger than the above without issue and as noted, using Karl's upload, it took less than 30 seconds....odd

I just saw the topic and gave it a shot. Well three or four shots, actually. The answer for me (with windows 7) was to left click your link on Chrome and wait 6 or 7 minutes. The download did not apear to be complete, (large gap in the middle of the book) but I told it to download to my hard drive and the book I got is actually complete. No idea what the issue is.

Aw flaming stralia

It took under a minute and Aus has the 63rd fastest internet in the world. Must be that the MI5 and/or CIA or another member of the alphabet soup do not want Canucks reading the file so let us see if we can sneek it past them.

Yes - just got a complete download of the "Ships damaged...." report. As mentioned the download stopped about half way through, but as I started scrolling thru the document additional pages kept popping in. I now have the whole document. It's a 71 MB pdf file. A fantastic amount of information in there. I'd try attaching the file to this note.
Whoops - just saw that MiTasol did the same thing - oh well....

I had no luck at all, on the East Coast. So thank you for the attachment - that worked well.
